  Television network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A television network is a distribution network for television content whereby a central operation provides programming for many television stations.
In countries where most networks broadcast identical, centrally originated content from all their stations and where most individual stations are therefore nothing more than large "repeater stations," the terms television network, television channel and television station have become interchangeable in everyday language, with only professionals in TV-related occupations continuing to make a difference between them.
A related concept is that of a television system (not to be confused with broadcast television system), which refers to a group of television stations owned by a common entity and sharing common schedule patterns and on-air branding, but where each station in the group is considered to be independent, such as Citytv in Canada.

 GAO-03-7, Telecommunications: Additional Federal Efforts Could Help Advance Digital Television Transition
However, under the law, television stations do not have to return their analog channel until 85 percent of households in a market can receive DTV signals; this is not likely to occur by the December 2006 target date in many markets.
Television manufacturers say they are reluctant to roll out digital cable-ready sets until all cable systems implement the agreed-upon technical standards, and they have requested that FCC implement a timetable for national cable standards.
Because about 25 million new television sets are sold each year, significant numbers of households would own a television set capable of receiving digital signals via cable without the need for a set-top box by the date-certain cable switchover, thereby lessening the need of cable subscribers to obtain set-top boxes when the switchover occurs.

 FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
Louisiana, 373 U.S. (1963), this Court constructed a rule that the televising of a defendant in the act of confessing to a crime was inherently invalid under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment even without a showing of prejudice or a demonstration of the nexus between the televised confession and the trial.
Thus, the evil of televised trials, as demonstrated by this case, lies not in the noise and appearance of the cameras, but in the trial participants' awareness that they are being televised.
The presence of television would certainly emphasize to the trial participants that the case is something "special." Particularly treacherous situations are presented in cases where pretrial publicity has been massive 2 even when jurors positively state they will not be influenced by it; see Rideau v.

 JS Online: FCC demands digital tuners in TVs
The vote is likely to raise the cost of televisions, though whether the increase will be small or substantial is the subject of a contentious industry debate.
Almost four years after the transition to digital television began, the three commissioners voting in the majority said that market forces had failed to move it along in a timely fashion and that the government had to step in.
Once the switch to digital television is complete, the FCC is supposed to reclaim the broadcast spectrum used for traditional television and sell it, most likely for $5 billion to $10 billion, according to congressional estimates.

 Performance Government: A Roundtable Discussion
Because the 1934 Act was enacted well before the existence of cable television, federal law did not address the cable industry in any comprehensive way until many years after the industry was established.
To the extent that Maine’s provision is inconsistent with the authority granted by federal law (particularly with respect to detecting unauthorized cable reception), Maine’s law could be susceptive to a challenge based on the doctrine of federal preemption.
Even if the records are edited (consistent with the privacy provisions of federal and state law) to delete information that would identify the complainant, the franchising authority should at least be able to determine whether its cable operator is complying with the service requirements.

Southwestern Cable, 392 U.S. The FCC may regulate cable television because it reasonably affects the commission's effective regulation of broadcast television and because the Communications Act of 1934 gives the commission the authority to regulate communication "by wire or radio".
FCC, 512 U.S. Because "must carry" requirements impose special obligations on cable television operators, heightened First Amendment scrutiny is required; here, the FCC has not established that "broadcast television is in economic peril".

From a public-policy perspective, the fear seems to be puritanical in character: If people see booze ads on TV, they will, like a mindless herd of robots, make a mad dash to their local liquor stores just because they see a few TV ads.
Moreover, a federal ban on televised liquor advertising would probably not pass First Amendment muster today.

 Public Interest Primer (NTIA) 10-22-97
Since the inception of commercial television broadcasting in 1941, the parameters of public interest obligations have periodically been altered in response to re-evaluations of the public interest by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission, FCC), statutory measures taken by Congress and rulings by the federal judiciary.
Federal Communications Comm'n, 395 U.S. 367 (1969) (the particular public interest obligations found in the Commission's "fairness doctrine" held consistent with the First Amendment given the physical scarcity of the public's broadcast spectrum).
By the time that the Commission approved of the first commercial television assignments on July 1, 1941 and adopted its first comprehensive table of national television assignments on November 28, 1945, the public interest obligations for radio broadcasters was already a well developed statutory and regulatory area with a jurisprudential record.

If anything, the need for public television and federal support of it is stronger now than in 1967, when the Public Broadcasting Act was passed.
Public television originally was conceived as a voice of quality in what former FCC Chairman Newton Minow called "a vast wasteland." For the third of us who do not have or cannot afford cable, including many with the greatest need for educational programs, broadcast television is even less distinguished than it was then.
They also rely on television for knowledge of their leaders and potential leaders, for most of the theater and opera they will see, for too much of the American history and literature they will learn and for much of the information, education and individual expectations that help us work as a country.

As part of the nation's evolution to digital television, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered all television broadcasters to initiate the broadcast of a digital television signal by May 1, 2003, and to cease analog television broadcasts on December 31, 2006.
About half of the nation's 357 public television stations did not meet the deadline to initiate digital broadcasting, and have received extensions to as late as May 1, 2004, to do so.
Since rural communities depend on public television stations for services ranging from educational course content in their schools to local news, weather, and agricultural reports, any disruption of public television broadcasting would be detrimental.

One assertion of free TV supporters is that free air time would prevent deceptive television ads.
But, BeVier contends, for the government to monitor the truthfulness of campaign speech, to begin canvassing past campaign speeches and voters' reactions to them, to determine whether all the claims were true, and to decide whether citizens were misled by false claims is unsustainable in a free society.
